I'll be doing a 723 or 727-style KISS carbine in the near future, and I'm planning on doing a FSB pocket cut on one of the old tubular rifle-length guards that were emerging in that early-90's era with certain folks. With a reflex can over the 14.5" pipes, it looks like an MP5SD kinda, and allows more forward mounting of your light so you don't get muzzle shadow like on a carbine handguard gun.
I was able to get some A2 "blem" uppers from LAR for like $48 per, so that will push me in the 727 direction of course. I still haven't decided if I'll SBR and do a regular can, or have a reflex made out of Ti.
My last can was an Ase Utra CQB-QD that attached to a standard A2 or A1 flash suppressor, but I didn't really like that design so much relying on alignment of a rack-grade thread job, and the added weight of the QD mech. I think direct thread-on is much more practical, and definitely lighter.
For a car gun, the benefits of a suppressor can't be overstated enough, but I will want it as short as possible. I have noticed that 7.62 weapons suppressed can be made much quieter than a 5.56, which still has a piercing crack not present in some of the better .30 cal cans.
Variable, is the Grendel more in the same boat as the 7.62 with regards to suppressed report?
